Investigating spirituaIism.

1t is not only possible to be convinced
that the spirit of man exists after death
even although what is called an unbe-
lever but it is also admissible for him
to seek knowledge on the great ques-
ton through the very avenues of infor-
nation which claim to uphold spiritual
Ism. thousands uDOn thousands of
respectable people in this country alone,
who have thought all mediums, So
called, lmpostors, working upon the
credullty of, the weak-minded, or else
that these mediums were self-deluded
easlly-inhuenced individuals, have been
convinced of the truths of spiritualism
by hard, positive facts brought to them
by returning spirits, evidences of their
Identity and of their continued existence
which facts have proved to their skepti,
cal minds the important truths of
spiritualism through well-deyeloped
mediums. 1t does not matter to the
spirit world whether a mortal believes
in spirit or in the reliability and
honor of mediums, or SCOUTS the idea of
a continued conscious existence of
human beings, for the spirit-world is
determined to bring forward such evil
dence as wikndo away with every doubt
OF the skept Ii believer. We connse!
and advise our friend not
to attend the seances of mediums with
gross suspicion in his heart as 10 their
10 lesty, because, being sensitive, they!
Will feel the thoughts of his mind which
will be most painful to them; but go in
candid, open spirit, with the desire to
learn the truth. and with wise iudg-
ment, cool aud calm reasoning powers.
1t Will take him but little time to deter
mine whether what is presented to him
IS really the result of some occult.
higher force than he understands, or
it be gross imposture on the
part of the medlam. We might dis |
course on the subject for an hour, vet
1ot exhaust its points; but we bid this |
rlend to investigate, and never denv |
he possibility of any law until he |
understands. its every side and opera
ion, or any power inherent in human
lie until he knows something of that
power and understands what NAV be as
veil as what is, and he can only find
UGH understanding through a close
areful study of the laws of nature and
he laws of the spiritual universal.

Superstition or spiritua1ism.

Prof. W. F. Jameson lectured last
evening to large audience. The meet
ing was held under the auspices of the
Secular Society. The following are the
main pointssof the lecture, the subject
of which is "Superstitions of Spiritual
ISM"
a Week.ago 1t was shown what the most
famous mediums of the world are: the ma
ture of spiritualsm its fascination thonSanJ,
OF splrltuallsts declaring that if it is a delu-
sion 1t is q charming one, and thev hone

the d1spassiOnate discovery of truth. II was
shown that many of the brightest inteIlecfs

OF the most distinguished scientists. sueh aS

England; Alfred K. Wallace, the chamnion

true, eplrtuaISm has It's humble followers
for, like Christianity, it reaches down to the
very dregs of society for its votaries. It is
intensely democratic. To these 100000 of
sp!rltuallsts (sOme writers say I1,OOOOOO) |
splr!tualism is an established fact. But
though the whole world indorse q supersti-
uon, still tits superstition. Because great |
numbers believe fiction does not prove it |
true.
Spiritualism is filed with fraud. The |
speaker then rapidly gave history of b $ I

The several Caucasians who have be.
come aware of the state of mind that
about fifty Cinnamon are in, who live in
one building, in their portion of town,
are enjoying themselves hugely. Several
weeks ago one of their number died.
and in carrying out the rites of tn. ir
creed they did all that was thought
necessary to keep out the imp from the
region below. His satanic majesty has,
however, broken his obligation to be
appeased by bounteous supply of
sweetmeats and choice table Gelicacies.
and for the past few nights has, accor1-
Ing to the Celestials, crossed the thresh
old OF their hitherto peaceful abode and
made existence anything but enjoyable
Tor them. They say that they have
offered TO compromise on any basis
offered to put up any amount of their
hard earned money or to another feast
OF roast pork-but without the Iea,t
effect. SO disturbed have they Lecome
that each and every one now enters the
building and emerges therefrom with

on the condemned man, he was pre-
scented with little kitten, to which he
became closely attached. Willett taught
mis- little companion many tricks. They
ate off the same dish, and slept together
at night. For twenty-four hours previ-
GUS to Willett's execution the kitten
refused to leave the prisoners lap. When
placed on the floor it would cling to
WhIett trousers and cry pitifully TO be
taken up again in his arms. The morn
ing of the execution, the kitten took up
its position on the staircase where
Kelland's slayer was hanged, and 1t
remained there during the entire pro-
ceedings.
Later in the day the faithful kitten
was found cuddled up in his late mas.
ters BED. Food was offered again and
again, but the kitten. refused to eat
and went m wing pitifu!ly about the
prison. The kitten has long since grown
to be cat. "Willett's bewitched cat"
the superstitious prisoners callit. When
fresh prisoner arrives III the Jail and
inquiries about Wilett's cell and the
place where he stood when executed,
the cat is said to stare at the questloner
and Its hair to raise on end until 1t
seems to have grown double its normal
size. ne tall OF the cat becomes enOrm-

hearse. one of The prisoners said, while
1t snaps and acts like veri able fury.
Its eyes are like great balls OF green fire
and 1t flies back and fourth through the
corridors of the Jail to the terror of the
prisoners, young and old The cat is
quiet and inoffensive at times, but, as
one of the prisoners said yesterday:
There's no tellin' when it will fly at
one or get one of its spells "
The daintiest morsel of the prisoners
food is given to the cat, and all the
inmates of the Jail treat it with the
utmost consideration. kill it," said
one of the prisoners the. other day.
" Why, all the money in Kingston City
wouldn't induce a man here to kill that
cat. Wlllett's ghost would haunt US and
we'd never do another days good or
harm"

J. Newton. There have been seven of
these altogether. The writer was one
OF the circle in attendance. Her seance-
room Is the back parlor of her residence.
The furniture consists of the elegant
parlor organ recently presented to her.
small light stand, and a number of
OF cane-hottomed chairs. The substi-
tute for cabinet is a curtain some six
or seven feet wide. stretched across one
corner OF the room, forming an interior
angular space composed of solid side
walls.
During the evening many satisfactory
tests were given from the cabinet by
little Eunice, the familiar and constant
attendant, which met with acknowl-
EDGED recognition. Among the forms
that appeared were several very ancient
SplrIts-and. judging from their make
up, OF no common order-who greeted
the circle in an unfamiliar tongue.
Then there were other historical person
ages, including a spirit who claimed to
be Mary, Queen of Scots; and certainly
her queenly robes, sparkling crown and
noble bearing would justify such a
belief-although in this, as in the gener-
atty of like cases. the actual identity of
the spirit must be taken upon faith.
One of the more powerful presences of |
the evening was Rhoda, a frequent |
visitor, who in full view. materialized an |
abundance of lace of the most delicate |
texture, which was permitted to be ex-
amined and handled.
Mrs. Wells is certainly a medium of |
no common order, and only wants to be
